Anchor
A metal device, dropped out of a boat to prevent it drifting away from the current location.
An anchor also refers to a place on a webpage that may be directly linked to, rather than simply loading a page and requiring a user to scroll to the correct location.
Anchor was approved as part of Unicode 4.1 in 2005 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
